Our next AFRL Intern feature from the ACT3 team is: 🎓A PhD candidate at the University of California, Davis ⚡Electrical and Computer Engineer 🧠Working on Neuromorphic Computing Software And his name is Luis El Srouji! The amazing work he's doing involving neuromorphic computing is the development of photonic devices and architectures geared towards bolstering the operational power of these types of systems. His advice for folks interested in doing work similar to his: "Exposure to various research topics and methods will help you find a subject of research that you are really passionate about while also developing a breadth of skills and experiences that will make you a more well-rounded researcher." #AFResearchLab | #NeuromorphicComputing | #AFRLInterns | #Internships | #InternshipFeature | #DoDInterns | #UCDavis

Thao Tran’s artwork from Clemson University, featured in the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR)'s Art of Science showcase, epitomizes the intersection of meticulous atomic-level engineering and quantum information science. This piece highlights how small refinements at the atomic level can lead to groundbreaking physical properties critical to advancing quantum technology. Tran’s work underscores the importance of integrating art and science, demonstrating that meticulous scientific research can also be visually captivating. #AFResearchLab #AFOSR #QuantumScience #ArtOfScience #STEM #Innovation #Research

Air Force Research Laboratory reposted this
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering developed a material called a “pluripotent plastic,” which has the ability to take on many forms. The material is made up of polymers containing “dynamic covalent bonds,” which can break and re-form reversibly. This versatility may be useful for engineers working in resource-scarce environments like outer space. To develop the new material, Prof. Stuart Rowan worked with PME assistant professor Shrayesh Patel, graduate student Nicholas B., and colleagues at Argonne National Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

I started mentoring students in the lab in 2011. Although I now work in an office space, I still have the fantastic opportunity to work with the next generation through the AFRL Scholars Program. Interns bring so much joy to my heart. We have spent years exploring electron transfer, bioengineering flashy proteins, and thinking about how we can improve the world we live in through education. Thank you interns for showing up and being brave enough to try something new! An even bigger thank you to Jabari Wilson who has been working with me as an intern for 2 years evaluating our outreach impact. I couldn't have made it through these past 2 years without you as a thought-partner! #NationalInternDay

During WWII the U.S. looked to fly ahead of the competition in jet engine technology 🛩 and began developing its first production engine known as the J31. Learn more about this Central Flow Engine in the latest AFRL Museum series video featuring AFRL Historian Jeff Duford. #AFResearchLab | #AFRLTech | #AFRLMuseumTech | #AVGeeks | #AVHistory

Celebrating the Convergence of Science and Art with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR)'s Art of Science Showcase! We're proud to highlight "The Master's Touch" by Rigel Harper from Purdue University, a piece that exemplifies the fascinating intersections between cutting-edge research and artistic creativity. This innovative work demonstrates the Munroe effect, a phenomenon where minute surface imperfections on plastic explosives generate supersonic jets capable of imprinting patterns onto metal. Harper's approach pushes this effect to its limits, capturing the intricate details of a human fingerprint. At AFRL, we're passionate about recognizing and promoting innovative research across all scientific fields. How do you see the relationship between science and art evolving in your area of expertise? #AFResearchLab | #ArtOfScience | #STEM | #InnovativeResearch | #ScienceandArt

“The idea to use solid propellants for rotating detonation is a fairly new one,” said Eric Paulson, senior aerospace engineer at AFRL. “The innovative work that has been done at Purdue University and a couple other places in the U.S. is really cutting-edge technology. There’s a lot of work that has been done with liquids, but rotating detonation with solid fuel is a pretty new game.” Researchers at Purdue University, with support from the Air Force Research Laboratory, have filed a patent disclosure to develop solid fuels for rotating detonation engines. The project was awarded in collaboration with the AFRL Regional Network - Midwest, headquartered at Purdue. The Midwest Network is a new science and technology ecosystem that brings together academia, industry and government agencies to advance research and technology critical to the Air Force mission.

Raelee Lance, a rising junior at Purdue University studying Computer Science, is today's AFRL Internship feature! Her work with Dr. Michael Mendenhall and the ACT3 Team focuses on large language models and natural language processing is feeding into AI systems geared towards American Sign Language, or ASL, interpretation. The best part? This subject area is a passion of hers, so Raelee is getting to work on a project that will impact future career choices for years to come. Her advice to prospective computer science majors is: "Make sure that you use your support system any time you feel stuck – with work, in your personal life, mentally, emotionally… More people are here to help you than you think!" #AFResearchLab | #AFRLInterns | #Internship | #InternshipsFeature | #DoDInterns | #PurdueUniversity | #ComputerScience
